I think the soundtrack is very good in that it suits the purpose of the thriller genre, helping to create tension, also parts of the soundtrack will be useful in emphasising particular parts of the opening, for example the short sharp sound after a period of quite quiet sound could be used when the pizza delivery boy sees the dead body to put emphasis on the shock and suspicion of the sight of her. Moreover, the music is effective in building emotion in the audience, for example, simply a boy cycling up someone's drive is not particularly tense or scary, but when the music is added to it, although we have not actually made this mixture yet, it should be very effective in adding tension/suspense to the opening, and therefore help it fit into the thriller genre.
Jack made the soundtrack on GarageBand.
Addition after teacher's comment:
I think one of the main aspects of this soundtrack is much alike many other thriller music. For example, in the Se7en opening, the sound that is heard from the start gives the feeling of eery emptiness, with sharp sounds in the background. The sound heard from the beginning of the soundtrack created by Jack is quite similar, with the eeryness accompanied by sharp sounds coming in as it progresses, suggesting pain/danger is lurking in an isolated area.
Good consideration of the effects of the music on the overall narrative. Try to mention individual instruments and the effect they have, as well as referring to any examples that we have watched that you found created tension well.
